Pillow Block

For my Mechanical Engineering Lab Super User training, I had to CAM and machine a pillow block on a mill. Using FS wizard, I was able to calculate the feeds and speeds needed to machine my part out of acrylic safely. This part posed a challenge to machine due to the work holding necessary in order t...

3D Lidar Scanner

3D Lidar Scanner

In this project, I created a DIY 3D lidar scanner for object detection and mapping. The motivation behind this project was learning about object detection in my harmonic analysis class and radar instruments in my waves in optics class. I became fascinated with radar and wanted to see if I could make...
